so, i was bored and went to hang out on the mud crab merchant's isle
and sell him some stuff. i recalled that the assassins that attack
you while you rest have ebony swords! i was probably attacked 5 or 6
times, leaving 12 bodies on the ground all around me, and I made a ton
of cash.

But now there seems to be no more assassins. Did I mess something up?
heh. They used to really whip-up on me when I was lower in levels,
but now I rule them.

Assassins stop coming if you go talk to the guy
in Ebonhart. They are also very random. They
also come more if you are heavily damaged
than if you are healthy when you sleep.

Health has nothing to do with it.

I've noticed that sleeping in town tends to make you more likely to be
attacked than sleeping out in the wild. I was almost guaranteed an ambush
any time I tried sleeping in the Mage's Guild in Balmora. This goes for
both the Assassins and the Ash Vampires that attack you later.

If you go to their lair they have some with Daedric weapons, and there
are a lot of them. Also, they regenerate after a period so you can keep
going back.

They used to come and kick my ass on a regular basis, but now they
seem to have just stopped altogether. I will stop and sleep outisde
for up to 24 hours and I get nothing. Are you sure if there are X
number of assassin corpses lying around, they stop coming?

I like the ebony stuff because it's pretty light and easy to
transport. I carry a bunch of junk that I should sort through. heh.

After a certain number of attacks they quit. Not sure if they restart
after a time though.

There are plenty of other unlimited income sources.

If you get to where you're able to kill Dremora Lords with relative ease, go
visit one of the Daedric temples, and steal the gems from the altar. These
gems are special, in that they will summon a Dremora Lord when you pick them
up. The thing is, this effect is not limited to just where they are in the
temples. You can drop them pretty much anywhere, pick them up again, and
summon another Dremora Lord. These guys usually have Dwarven, Ebony, or
Daedric weapons on them. (I think it depends on your level. When you're
higher levelled, they're pretty much guaranteed to give Daedric all the
time.) It doesn't work all the time, and I don't think it can work twice a
row in the same area, but move to another area, drop and pick up again, and
it usually works. Just don't do it near neutral NPCs, as they like to cast
fireballs at you, which can be dangerous to innocent bystanders.

Annother good place to hunt for good selling weapons is Ald Sotha. It's
just a hop and a few jumps away from the Mudcrab, (Literally if you've got
maxed speed and acrobacy + a CE Jump ring and BoBS like me.) so it's easy to
go in, loot, come back out and sell, and repeat. Ald Sotha has several
levels, and by the time you get to the bottom, the monsters on the top often
regenerate. You'll find Dremora, Dremora Lords, and Golden Saints outside,
all of which may be armed with valuable gear, provided you're strong enough
to kill them. Don't forget to Soul Trap the Golden Saints, too. They're
the best souls you can get.

There are also a few places scattered around that regenerate a high-level
baddie every time you enter them. There's one in Tel Vos, and another in
Berandas stronghold. You don't always get a golden saint or a dremora lord,
but sometimes you do.

But when I need a gold boost, I often go to the dark brotherhood lair in the
Mournhold sewer and collect armor. You can get enough in one trip to sell
$10K worth to the armorer gal in the great bizarre. Do that a few days in a
row, and you're set.

The fun thing about that is that after a while, she's got about 50 sets.
Then if you get a high ticket item like an ebony curass that nobody has the
money to buy, you sell it to her, and buy back a stack of the armor at the
same time until you're down to her 10K limit. Then you sell the armor to
her again over the next few days. Of course this works even better with the
mudcrab if you can get there and back easily.

Cheers,
Walt

Two words. Mark. Recall. I've had my Marker on the mudcrab's island ever
since I first found him. It's not only a great way to make cash, but by
using a Recall followed by Intervention spells, it's a really quick way to
get to Molag Mar, Vivec, or Ebonheart from anywhere in the world. (Almsivi
from the island goes to Molag Mar, but go just a few steps to the east and
you'll end up in Vivec.) Also, it's a short jaunt up the coast to Telasero,
giving you access to all the Dunmer strongholds if you have the Indeces.
I'm thinking a house mod set up on the mudcrab's island would be a really
cool idea...

Where do you sell these assassin-swords worth 48000?
I haven't seen any merchant having that kind of money.

sell cheaper weapons to the weapon shop in Mournhold
Wait 24 hours until the shopkeeper has 10000 gold pieces again
sell more cheaper weapons and wait 24 hours until the shopkeeper has
enough weapons in exchange for your expensive weapon
wait another 24 hours and resell the cheaper weapons and so on
i got more than 1.8 million bucks by doing so

ya, you can do the same thing with the mudcrab too. it was funny,
everytime i would rest on his island, i would be attacked by the
assassins making more stuff for me to sell. heh.

In all this time I've been playing this game I have _never_ found the
Mudcrab! I found Creeper fairly early and have home-brewed a mod that
gave him 50000 cash per day so money is essentially no object and I
can get on with the game.

Still haven't found Mudcrab though - and I've won the main game and
both add-ons as well as finishing innumerable mod quests...kinda liked
the finish to Suran Underworld - maybe with my next character I should
redo that one and take another branch.

I've tried doing various werewolf quests but found myself far weaker
than I am now - maybe the equivalent of level 10 max.

I've done vampires but never as part of one of the 'houses' so maybe
that's somewhere to go next - in my present game I have finished
Bloodmoon but have not gone far enough with the main quest to catch
corpus yet so maybe there's something to try...

Go to the Dwemer ruins of Mzahnch, east of Vivec. (It's labelled on the
paper map.) From that island, go one more island to the east, and that is
the Mudcrab's home. The two islands are very close, and the water between
them is shallow enough to walk through. Unlike Creeper, the Mudcrab looks
just like any ordinary mudcrab (the name you see when you mouse-over him is
just "Mudcrab"), so it's very easy to kill him by mistake if you don't know
it's him.

Thanks for the advice
By the way, how long did it take to reach to 1,8 million???? (just a curious
question
